36 carrying a gun .You’re standing in front of a
37 and you’re telling the TV 38 what is
happening.
It’s all in a day’s work for a war reporter
,and it can be very 39 .In the first two years
of the 40 in former Yugoslavia(前南斯拉夫),28 reporters and
photographers were killed .Hundreds more were 41 .What
kind of people put themselves in danger to 42 pictures
to our TV screens and 43 to our newspapers? Why

“I think it’s every young
journalist’s 44 to be a foreign reporter,” says

and say to God, ‘If you get me out of this ,I 54 I’ll
never do it again.’ You can almost hear God 55 ,because
you know he doesn’t believe you .”
